I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky; And all around I heard you pass, Like ladies' skirts across the grass-- O wind, aͲblowing all day long! (5) O wind, that sings so loud a song!

I saw the different things you did,But always you yourself you hid. I felt you push, I heard you call, I could not see yourself at all -- (10) O wind, aͲblowing all day long, O wind, that sings so loud a song!

O you that are so strong and cold, O blower, are you young or old? Are you a beast of field and tree, (15)Or just a stronger child than me? -- O wind, aͲblowing all day long, O wind, that sings so loud a song!Using two or more details from the poem, describe the setting. Please use complete sentences :)

I think the setting is outside when the wind is blowing.
I know this because in the text, it said:" I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky."
I also think that there are 2 kids playing hide and go seek.
I think this because in the text, it said this:" I felt you push I heard you call, I could not see yourself at all."

I thought the setting was outside becuase in the story it said the wind was pushing the kites and you use kites outside. Also the poem was about wind and wind is not inside.

I believe that it is at a field with a lot of flat grass. I got this from the sentences:
1. "I saw you toss the kites on high".
And
2."Like ladies' skirts across the grass---".
That is why I think the setting is at a grassy field with flat grass all across!!!!

The setting of the poem is outside on a windy day.

1.) The first detail that describes the setting is flying kites outside when it is really windy outside.

2.) The second detail that describes the setting is birds flying in the sky.

I think that the setting is at a park on a windy day.
1. The 1st detail is that they say "O wind, a blowing all day long!"
2. The second detail is that they said they're flying kite and you can only do that on windy days.

I think the setting is outside on a cold chilly day. I think the setting is outside because it talks about wind, grass, the sky, a field, and trees. All of these things are found outside. I also know it's chilly because in the poem it said it was cold. I know it's windy because the whole poem is about what the wind sounds and feels like.

I think the setting is a grassy field in April/spring. I know because the title is "The Wind". i also know because in the poem it says birds in the sky, skirts across the grass, field and tree, and blowing all day. These things help me know what the setting is.

I think the setting is a little bit of grassy land with a few bushes. On top of the land is a boy that is flying a nice blue kite. The boy looks like he is talking to himself but he is talking to the wind. It is a windy day because it says he is talking to the wind.

A windy day in a small meadow and a person flying a kite " I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky. And all around I heard you pass, Like ladies' skirts on the grass."

I think the setting is a day outside when the wind is blowing. I know this because it says "Oh wind a blowing all day long". My second reason is when he said "I saw you toss the kites".

I think the setting of the poem is a windy day. The poet is describing how the wind is blowing, and its impact on different things. The two details are the lines where the poet talks about "o wind at blowing all day long" and "o wind that sings so loud a song".

I think that, the setting is at a ark, playing hide- and seek with someone. I think this because, in the text, it said that there was a tree, and so that hit me that they were outside. then, I went back into the text, and it was talking about how somebody can't find some body, and then it came to me! If I combine these 2, I can get, hide, and seek- which is a game, that you usually play at the park. So, that is how I came up with, at the park, and playing hide and seek.
I also think that it is during the night time because, it must be very hard to find a human being if it is not daytime.

I think that he is at a place where people are flying kites and a sunny day when the wind is blowing hard where I get the information from is "I can hear your calls and I can see the kites flying in the air."

I think the kid is near some trees and there might be some people around because it said you blew that ladies dress up. Also he might be very exited about flying his kite because the breeze will lift it up well.

I think the setting is outside because it said " like ladies skirts in the grass" and grass is outside. I also think it is outside because it says in the text "I saw you toss the kites high in the sky" also sky is out side.
